The Hall of Small Mammals was created as a part of a 10-year exhibition program approved by the Board of Trustees in 1959, which aimed to take advantage of new techniques and data and to update old halls and create new ones (3, 1968/69, p. 10). Each window in the hall reveals one or more mammals in a detailed natural setting at a particular season and time of day. Descriptions of such key characteristics as behavior, typical diet, and reproductive traits are included for each species (1).
In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the habitat groups depicted the nine-banded armadillo, black-footed ferret, prairie dog, common woodchuck, peccary, flying squirrel, Kaibab squirrel, weasel, marten, kit fox, badger, kangaroo rat, mink, wolverine, muskrat in such habitats as the Northern Rockies, Northern Arizona forest, Crater Lake in Oregon, Grand Tetons in Wyoming, Louisiana marshes, Canadian tundra, Death Valley, California, Mount Katahdin, Maine (4, 1972, p. 108-109; 5).
